If I get rid of my desire to do something, then I've replaced myself by a possibly less frustrated person who doesn't value the same things as I do. This is obviously a trade-off, yes.

On the one hand, it's not that I'm ridiculously frustrated by our lack of immortality, I've kind of gotten used to it. I recognize that things could be better, yes.

On the other hand, a version of me that doesn't care if people die or not seems very different from me and frankly kind of abhorrent. I don't even know if I even want that version of me to exist, and I'm certainly not going to have it replace myself if I can help it.
